It was done from 2007 to 2017. Finally, the effect of three dimensions of poverty on chronic poverty and transient poverty was calculated based on Shapleychr('39')s method The results obtained from Income Poverty show that at any given time, nearly 60 percent of Iranchr('39')s population is below the poverty line. Poverty intensity is 0.54 and income inequality among the poor is 0.34 .Chronic poverty accounts for 84 percent of total poverty in Iran. Also, the share of poverty incidence and the intensity of poverty and inequality among the poor on chronic poverty are 47%, 35% and 18%, respectively. and the share of the three dimensions of poverty on transient poverty is 65%, 7%, and 28%, respectively. Chronic poverty is strongly affected by poverty incidence and the intensity of poverty and transient poverty is more affected by poverty incidence than other dimensions of poverty.
